This occurred on my HECD 921 Saturday morning. I turned on my 921 around 8:00am and did a PIP to see if the unit did the auto reset. The pip frame appeared at the upper left corner where I had placed it the night before. Tuner 1 was on a satellite SD channel and I expected tuner 2 to display a channel in the PIP but it remained blank. I then changed the position of the PIP. At that moment a green screen appeared just to the right of where I originally had the PIP window. I decided to swap PIP to see if it would clear. The swap produced a black screen with no audio. The PIP worked with tuner 1. I did some experimenting. I could discuss the actions and results which may make a normal reader become manic. Bottom line, the problem would not clear. Checking the Point Dish feature proved that both tuners were properly receiving all satellites both odd/even channels. A Check Switch didn't help.

A power button reset didn't fix the problem. A card pull reset didn't work. An 3 minute power plug reset didn't work.

What fixed the problem was disconnecting the; power cord, all cable inputs (OTA/satellite 1-2), and the telephone line. Total disconnect time was estimated at about four minutes.

I've had a distorted (green) pip window get stuck on the screen. I'm almost always watching hi-def and when I hit pip it's usually by accident (perhaps I should just remove it from my universal remote).

Power button reboot got me back. Of course I was recording at the time so had to wait till it was finished. Oh well, it's nice of the 921 to help keep my TV viewing time under control.

I have the same problem. It came with L2.13.
